Critical reception
People, “Whether single, married or facing relationship obstacles, Shetty's book will "guide you from loneliness to self-awareness."”[3]
According to The New York Times, “The new book explores the four Vedic stages of love — preparing for love, practicing love, protecting love and perfecting love — with simple exercises and takeaways. There is a list of first date questions like, “What is occupying your thoughts most at the moment?” And for readers in relationships, there is a “social calendar” worksheet — to help people make time for themselves that is separate from time with their significant other or with friends.”[4]
